Does the German-French tv station "Arte" ever offer broadcasting in
English, and if so, is there any way to receive it in North America?
Thank you!

Borrow the dish from your local observatory.

It frrequently carries programmes in the original language, which may
be English, with either French or German subtitles (depending on which
signal you get).

As for availability in North America, can't say.
You could try pestering Direct TV or whatever to take it on board.

I'll take that as a no...(how about with a "BUD" dish [one of the big
ones]?)

It'll need to be the Hubble though.

Hubble?! Far too small. "HST is a 2.4-meter reflecting telescope".[1]
Better ask the people at Arecibo - they have a 305-meter-dish.[2] ;-)

The telescope at Arecibo has only restricted mobility, so I would
suggest the dish at Green Bank (>100m after being rebuilt).

Since I posted that I have noticed the Canal Satellite Carribian
package, which carries a range of French channels.
This is transmitted from the Intelsat 801 satellite and is intended
for the French Antillies (Guadeloupe, Martinique etc) where it is
receivable with 80 cm dishes. The decoder looks the same as the one
used in mainland France.
The satellite is visible from Eastern USA but I've no idea what the
signal strength would be like and can't tell from the published
footprint.
